- the shuttle may include an opening that forms an external jaw and the core may be movably disposed within the opening of the shuttle such that the guide surface of the core engages with the shuttle to permit the shuttle to slide along the guide surface.
- a jaw gap may be defined between the internal jaw and the external jaw.
- the guide surface may be positioned to guide movement of the shuttle such that as the shuttle moves relative to the core in a sliding direction having a horizontal component, the variation in the distance between internal jaw and the guide surface may cause the jaw gap to change in a vertical direction (e.g., expand or contract) to receive a portion of an item to protect.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-section view of an example adjustable clamp security device 100 with a shuttle 300 in a rearward position in accordance with an example embodiment.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of the example adjustable clamp security device 100 with the shuttle 300 in the rearward position in accordance with an example embodiment.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an cross-section view of an example security device 100 with a shuttle 300 in a forward position in accordance with an example embodiment. Reference will be made to FIGs. 1 through 3 to facilitate explanation of the structure and operation of the example security device 100.
- the security device 100 may be comprised of a core 200 and a shuttle 300.
- the core 200 may have a forward portion 295 and a rearward portion 296.
- the core 200 may also have an upper side 297 and a lower side 298. Note that these relative locational descriptors are merely used for explanation purposes are not intended to state an orientation of operation for the example security device 100.
- the security device 100 may be utilized in any orientation.
- the horizontal directions may be defined as a forward horizontal direction 400 toward the forward portion 295 of the core 200 and a rearward horizontal direction 401 toward the rearward portion 296 of the core 200.
- the vertical directions may be defined as an upward direction 450 toward an external jaw 310 of the shuttle 300 and a downward direction 451 toward a lower side 298 of the core 200.
- the sliding direction 425 may have both horizontal and vertical components as defined by the horizontal directions and the vertical directions.
- the sliding direction may describe the line upon which the shuttle 300 moves relative to the core 200.
- the sliding direction may be defined as a forward sliding direction 425 toward the forward portion 295 of the core 200 and a rearward sliding direction 426 toward the rearward portion 296 of the core 200.
- the core 200 may, according to some example embodiments, be a central component that is disposed within an opening 350 of the shuttle 300 and upon which the shuttle 300 slides in the forward sliding direction 425 or the rearward sliding direction 426 to change a vertical size of the jaw gap 110 through relative vertical movement of the external jaw 310 with respect to the internal jaw 230 in the upward direction 450 or the downward direction 451, while the internal jaw moves in a forward horizontal direction 400 or a rearward horizontal direction 401 with the shuttle 300.
- the core 200 may include a guide surface 270 upon which the shuttle 300 interfaces to facilitate relative sliding of the shuttle 300 in the sliding directions 425, 426.
- the guide surface 270 may be an engagement lip disposed along a side of the core 200 that is received in a recess 360 of the shuttle 300 to facilitate sliding of the shuttle 300.
- forward stop 220 which may be a flexible protrusion that is ramped to facilitate assembly of the security device 100 and operates to prevent the shuttle 300 from sliding off of the core 200 and being separated from the core 200 after assembly.
- a rearward stop 280 may be formed to prevent movement of the shuttle 300 in the rearward sliding direction 426, once the shuttle 300 has reached a rearmost position.
- an internal jaw that may be used to define the jaw gap 110 may simply be the upper surface 297 of the core 200.
- an internal jaw sliding member 230 may alternatively be used, which may include the internal jaw 290.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may be a component of the core 200.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may slide relative to the core 200 in the horizontal directions 400, 401 as the shuttle 300 slides in the sliding directions 425, 426, respectively.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may slide in the horizontal directions 400, 401 along the internal jaw guide surface 260, which may be a lip that is engaged by the internal jaw sliding member 230 via the recessed areas 250 formed by arms 251.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may be constrained within a cavity 370 of the shuttle 300 such that the internal jaw sliding member 230 moves with the shuttle 300 in the horizontal directions 400, 401, but moves relative to the shuttle 300 in the vertical directions 450, 451.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may include arms 251 that contact shoulders 323 of the shuttle 300 when the shuttle 300 is sliding to maintain constrained horizontal movement of the internal jaw sliding member 230 with the shuttle 300.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may slide vertically against the shoulders 323 to move the internal jaw sliding member 230 in the vertical directions 450, 451, respectively, thereby closing or opening the j aw gap 110.
- the shuttle 300 is positioned in a rearward position where a distance between the internal jaw 290 and guide surface 270 is relatively large, and thus the jaw gap 110 is relatively small because the external jaw 310 is in a vertically low relative position.
- the shuttle 300 has been slid into a forward position. In this forward position, the distance between the internal jaw 290 and guide surface 270 is relatively small, and thus the jaw gap 110 is relatively large because the external jaw 310 is in a vertically high relative position.
- the guide surface 270 may be positioned to guide movement of the shuttle 300 such that the shuttle 300 moves relative to the core 200 in a sliding direction 425, 426 that includes a horizontal component. Further, a variation in the distance between internal jaw 290 and the guide surface 270 may cause the jaw gap 110 to change in a vertical direction 450, 451.
- a ratcheting assembly may now be described with reference to FIGs, 1, 3, and 4 for locking the shuttle 300 into a selected position relative to the core 200.
- the ratcheting assembly may be configured to permit sliding of the shuttle 300 in the rearward sliding direction 426 to close the jaw gap 110 and tighten the security device 100 onto an item, but prevent sliding of the shuttle 300 in the forward sliding direction 425 to prevent opening of the jaw gap 110 and removal of the item to be protected.
- the ratchet assembly may include a spring biased member 330 and ratcheting teeth 210.
- the spring biased member 330 may be any member that is elastic in a manner that the member may tend to revert back into an original position after being deflected.
- the spring biased member 330 may be affixed to and be a component of the shuttle 300 and the ratcheting teeth may be disposed on lower side 298 of the core 200.
- the ratcheting teeth may be angled relative to the spring biased member 330 in a manner that permits the spring biased member 330 and the shuttle 300 to move freely in the rearward sliding direction 426 thereby closing the jaw gap 110, but causes the spring biased member 330 to catch and prevent movement of the shuttle 300 in the forward sliding direction 425 that would increase the jaw gap 110, when the spring biased member 330 is in an extended position.
- the spring biased member 330 may be a leaf spring.
- the spring biased member 330 may be comprised of a ferrous material that is attracted to a magnet and therefore deforms (e.g., becomes compressed) when subjected to a magnetic field.
- the spring biased member 330 when the spring biased member 330 is subjected to a magnetic field created by magnet 510 of detacher key 500, the spring biased member 330 may deform or compress in the direction of the magnet 510 and move out of engagement with the ratcheting teeth 210.
- the shuttle 300 With the spring biased member 330 compressed into a downward position and out of engagement with the ratcheting teeth 210, the shuttle 300 may be free to move in both the forward sliding direction 425 and the rearward sliding direction 426 without being inhibited by the spring biased member 330. Accordingly, by disengaging the spring biased member 330, the detacher key 500 permits the shuttle 300 to be slid in the forward sliding direction 425, which increases the jaw gap 110 and permit removal of the item 520 (e.g., an eye glasses arm).
- a key locator detent 321 as shown in FIG. 2 may be provided to assist a user with placement of the detacher key 500 relative to the security device 100. Together, the security device 100 and the detacher key 500 may form an example system, according to some example embodiments.
- the security device 100 may initially be configured with the shuttle 300 in a forward position to permit insertion of an item into the jaw gap 110, since the jaw gap 110 will be relatively large with the shuttle 300 in a forward position. With the item inserted into the jaw gap 110, the shuttle 300 may be slid in the rearward sliding direction 426 to thereby reduce the size of the jaw gap 110 and clamp onto the item.
- the exterior jaw surface 390 and the internal jaw 290 may have compression pads 340, 240 affixed their respective engaging surfaces.
- the compression pads 240, 340 may operate to both provide additional grip onto the item via a higher coefficient of friction and increase the surface area of contact by permitting the item to depress into the compression pads 240, 340.
- the compression pads 240, 340 may have a soft surface, the compression pads 240, 340 may also protect the item from being scratched or from other damage that may occur due to clamping the security device 100 onto the item.
- the jaw gap 110 closes, but also the spring biased member 330 repeatedly engages a next ratchet tooth 210. In doing so, the spring biased member 330 and the ratchet teeth 210 operate to lock the jaw gap 110 into an increasing smaller size thereby ultimately locking the security device 100 onto the item when a sufficient amount of force is applied to the shuttle 300 to move the shuttle 300 in the rearward sliding direction 426. As such, the adjustability of the security device 100 for use with different items may be realized.
- the example security device 100 may also incorporate wireless communications technology for loss prevention and inventory tracking purposes.
- the core 200 may include an interior cavity that houses a security element 221 that is configured to transmit wireless signals.
- the security element 221 may be a radio frequency resonator, an acousto-magnetic resonator, or an RFID tag.
- the security element 221 may resonate in the presence of a electromagnetic field of a certain frequency and return a resonance signal that may be detected.
- a remote alarm may be triggered to indicate that, for example, an individual is attempting to exit a retail establishment without having first had the security device 100 removed from an item for sale, which may be indicative of an attempted theft of the item.
- the security element 221 may include an RFID tag.
- the RFID tag may be configured to respond to an interrogation signal with a unique code indicative of the RFID tag.
- the RFID tag may facilitate not only theft deterrence functions, but also inventory counting or tracking of the location of the security device 100 within and environment that is appropriately equipped with tracking hardware.
- FIG. 5 shows disassembled components of the security device 100 to provide additional clarity of understanding.
- FIG. 5 shows the core 200, the internal jaw sliding member 230, and the shuttle 300.
- the core 200 may comprise the guide surface 270 and the internal jaw guide surfaces 260. Since the internal jaw sliding member 230 may move along the internal jaw guide surface 260, the distance between the internal jaw 290 and the guide surface 270 may vary (e.g., linearly) along a length of the core 200. Further, forward stop 220 and rearward stop 280 may also be included on core 200.
- the internal features can be more clearly viewed in FIG. 5.
- the opening 350 that receives the body of the core 200 is shown, where the opening 350 may form the external jaw 310.
- the opening 350 may be formed by the external jaw 310, side walls 322, 324, and lower shuttle portion 320 as a continuous exterior.
- the lower shuttle portion 320 may house the spring biased member 330 and may have a surface that is angled based on the sliding directions 425, 426.
- the shuttle 300 may include cavity 370 for receiving the internal jaw sliding member 230 and shoulders 323 for retaining the internal jaw sliding member 230 within the shuttle 300.
- the shuttle 300 also includes recesses 360 for interfacing with guide surface 270 of the core 200.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 is also shown in isolation. According to some example embodiments, the internal jaw sliding member 230 may be a separate component of the core 200.
- the internal jaw sliding member 230 may include the internal jaw 290 and the affixed compression pad 240. Further, internal jaw sliding member 230 may include recesses 250 for engagement with the internal jaw guide surface 260 of the core 200, and formed by arms 251 which may abut shoulders 323 of the shuttle 300 as described above.
